STROLLER by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: I HAVE SEEN THE HILLS BLUE
Last Line: OF AN OLD WILLOW.
Subject(s): WOMEN;
I have seen the hills blue,
I have seen them purple;
And it is as hard to know
The words of a woman
As to straighten the crumpled branch
Of an old willow.
